SOME BACKGROUND...

Below is a brief discussion about the process of resetting IMPLAN passwords. For more information about credentials, see How to Log In to IMPLAN.

Who is this tutorial for?

This tutorial is for anybody who doesn't know how to reset their IMPLAN password. Now and then, an IMPLAN user may need to reset their password because they've forgotten theirs or would like to change it to something new. Follow THE STEPS herein and you'll have a new one before you know it.

Why is this process important?

Every single user is required to sign in to IMPLAN each time they use the software. To do that, users are required to provide a valid password. So, regardless of why you may need to reset yours, you should know how to do this in order to always maintain the tools needed to sign in at will.

Do I need anything before I can do this?

Yes. Before you can reset your IMPLAN password, you must first have a password to reset! To acquire valid credentials (a username and password), you must have an active IMPLAN data subscription. To purchase a data subscription, visit IMPLAN.com or contact us directly at (800) 507-9426.

Will I need to do this often?

That's up to you! The only reason a user should need to reset their password is because they've forgotten what it is or they'd like to actively change it to something new. So, the frequency with which your IMPLAN password is reset is your choice. If you prefer to change your password every month to increase personal security, IMPLAN grants you the freedom to do this every month. If you prefer to choose a password, enter it once, and never think about it again ("set it and forget it"), IMPLAN grants you that convenience as well. Your credentials can be as close or as far from the forefront of your IMPLAN use as you choose.

END OF PROCEDURE

WHAT NEXT?

IMPLAN is designed to allow for economic analyses to be launched or resumed from multiple points of entry. So, you can choose to start or continue your studies from whichever stage best fits your needs. Your process doesn't have to be linear! However, if you're brand new to IMPLAN and need some guidance, or would just prefer some professional advice, we're happy to offer our suggestion about what to do next.

WHAT WOULD IMPLAN DO?

If you're performing your very first impact analysis, then after logging in to IMPLAN, we suggest becoming familiar with the IMPLAN Dashboard. The IMPLAN Dashboard is a streamlined location from which you can visit many of IMPLAN's most valuable screens and serves as a "hub" from which to launch or resume studies in the software.

Feel like familiarizing yourself with the IMPLAN Dashboard is the right "first step" for your study? Great! The resource below will help you become comfortable maneuvering it.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Some analysts find that altering their process to conform to a traditional workflow isn't the best choice for their study. In these instances, carry out analyses in a nontraditional order better fits their needs. Thanks to IMPLAN's unrestricted versatility, it can accommodate even the most challenging procedural demands or preferences. Below are some additional resources which may prove helpful when formulating a personalized itinerary for your study.
